on unicyclist.org there is a guy who does a backflip off his uni. Does
that count?

I'm quite sure it'd be impossible, simply because you can't get any very
high speeds on a uni.

I've done it on my muni - but never intentionally. And it always hurts
like [censored].

Oh, you mean like a trick.

Cha, right.

Many people can do a standing backflip on flat ground (not on a cycle);
absolute speed isn't a requirement, rotation speed is, and there's no
reason we couldn't get good rotation speed on a unicycle, with practice.

that's true, but generally people tuck when they flip. which is quite
undoable on a unicycle. and you can only do a seat in static hop about
two feet, whereas a human can standing hop on your feet about, eh, four
feet, or so.

A standing backflip on a unicycle would be quite difficult, but I think
it is within the realm of possibility. A backflip in other contexts
(such as while riding forward over a kicker on a downslope, or just off
a drop) seems well within the reach of riders we already know. There
are people who can jump over a meter high.

Hello im the person that does the backsumi and the backflip off my
unicycle. Whats the trick you want to do on a half pipe?

I once tried a front sumi on a trampete but i think its possible to do
riding fast and jump down the half pipe and do a summersault with the
unicycle. I use a climbing harness for keeping the unicycle with me 🙂

Whats on the video? im using a really slow 56k so i cant download big
videos

I always thought that the most theoretically probable flip wouldn't be
the backflip on a uni, but the front flip. You could launch off of a
pretty good sized drop, tuck and roll. That'd be cool if you had a foam
pit to practice doing it into, like what I've seen on TV for extreme
sports that are hosted at camp woodward...

this is all theoretical, however.

Hey,
I think its quite possible to do a summersault with the unicycle
because i have already done one :p it wasnt too good and i never landed
it but i landed on my feet which was nice because i didnt get the bounce
i wanted but i feel its in my reach.

There is a other version that i do which is just riding doing a little
bounce and doing summersault out of the unicycle keeping my jumping hand
still holding handle.
